Here is a lot more information about the Kindle if you need it:
Introducing Kindle™
Three years ago, we set out to design and build an entirely new class
of device—a convenient, portable reading device with the ability to
wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. The result
is Amazon Kindle.
We designed Kindle to provide an exceptional reading experience. Thanks to electronic paper,
a revolutionary new display technology, reading Kindle’s screen is as
sharp and natural as reading ink on paper—and nothing like the strain
and glare of a computer screen. Kindle is also easy on the fingertips.
It never becomes hot and is designed for ambidextrous use so both
"lefties" and "righties" can read comfortably at any angle for long
periods of time.
We wanted Kindle to be completely mobile and simple to use for
everyone, so we made it wireless. No PC and no syncing needed. Using
the same 3G network as advanced cell phones, we deliver your content
using our own wireless delivery system, Amazon Whispernet.
Unlike WiFi, you’ll never need to locate a hotspot. There are no
confusing service plans, yearly contracts, or monthly wireless bills—we
take care of the hassles so you can just read.
With Whispernet, you can be almost anywhere, think of a
book, and get it in one minute. Similarly, your content automatically
comes to you. Newspaper subscriptions are delivered wirelessly each
morning. Most magazines arrive before they hit newsstands. Haven’t read
the book for tomorrow night’s book club? Get it in a minute. Finished
your book in the airport? Download the sequel while you board the
plane. Whether you’re in the mood for something serious or hilarious,
lighthearted or studious, Kindle delivers your spontaneous reading
choices on demand.
And because we know you can't judge a book by its cover, Kindle lets
you download and read the beginning of books for free. This way, you
can try it out—if you like it, simply buy and download with 1-Click,
right from your Kindle, and continue reading. Want to try a newspaper
as well? All newspaper subscriptions start with a risk-free two-week
trial.
Kindle’s paperback size and expandable memory let you travel light
with your library. With the freedom to download what you want, when you
want, we hope you’ll never again find yourself stuck without a great
read.
We're very proud to introduce Amazon Kindle and we hope you like it as much as we do.
- The Amazon Kindle Team

Paper-like Screen
Utilizing a new high-resolution display technology called electronic paper,
Kindle provides a crisp black-and-white screen that resembles the
appearance and readability of printed paper. The screen works using
ink, just like books and newspapers, but displays the ink particles
electronically. It reflects light like ordinary paper and uses no
backlighting, eliminating the glare associated with other electronic
displays. As a result, Kindle can be read as easily in bright sunlight
as in your living room.The screen never gets hot so you can comfortably
read as long as you like.
See what others are saying about the Kindle screen:
James Patterson, author of You've Been Warned, "The
screen is fabulous. You would expect that, with a screen, there would
be a glare, it would be hard to read but it's not. There’s no glare.
It's not backlit, which is kind of magical. I think people are going to
be very, very surprised and delighted. This is a lot easier to read
than a lot of books are these days."
Michael Lewis, author of Moneyball, "I'm telling you,
after five minutes I've ceased to think I'm looking at a screen. It's
not like reading a computer screen. It's more like reading a piece of
paper. I think it's actually clearer, easier on the eye than the
printed word."
Neil Gaiman, author of Stardust, "It's like paper and it’s very interesting. It’s very, very crisp. Very functional. Very readable."

national high-speed (EVDO) data network to enable you to wirelessly

connectivity so you will never see a monthly wireless bill for shopping

purchase and read right out of the box. Note: There is no wireless coverage available currently on Sprint’s data network for Kindle in Montana and Alaska.

Carry Your Library in 10.3 Ounces
At 10.3 ounces, Kindle is lighter and thinner than typical paperbacks,
and fits easily in one hand. Its built-in memory stores hundreds of
titles. An optional SD memory card lets you hold even more. From
Melville to Morrison, your favorite authors can always be with you.
In addition, books you purchase from the Kindle Store are backed up
online in your Kindle book library at Amazon.com. You can wirelessly
re-download books available in your library for free. This allows you
to make room for new titles on your Kindle. We even back up your last
page read and annotations. Please see more information about your
Kindle library content.
|
|
Ergonomic DesignWe wanted Kindle to be as easy to hold and use
as a book, so we designed it with long-form reading in mind. When
reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions
often. Kindle's full-length, vertical page-turning buttons are located
on either side, allowing you to read and turn pages comfortably from
any position. Navigation on both sides means both "lefties" and
"righties" can easily use Kindle with one hand. And at only 10.3
ounces, Kindle is lighter and thinner than a typical paperback.

for, and Kindle will find every instance across your Kindle library.

but can’t remember where? Simply type in hybrid
and Kindle will search your library for each reference, making it easy

KeyboardKindle's QWERTY keyboard puts the Kindle Store at your
fingertips. Simply type in a title, author, or keyword to find the
book, newspaper, or magazine you are looking for. From there, click to
buy, and begin reading your selection in under a minute.
The keyboard also enables you to do a full text search across your
entire library or within a specific title. To find the article you read
last week on globalization, simply type in globalization
to locate each relevant reference. You can then jump to Wikipedia to
learn more about it. The keyboard also means you can annotate text and
utilize Kindle’s built-in dictionary without interrupting your reading.
|
|
Bookmarks and AnnotationBy using the keyboard, you can add
annotations to text, just like you might write in the margins of a
book. And because it is digital, you can edit, delete, and export your
notes, highlight and clip key passages, and bookmark pages for future
use. You'll never need to bookmark your last place in the book, because
Kindle remembers for you and always opens to the last page you read.
|
|
Built-in Dictionary
Never get caught without a dictionary. Kindle includes The New Oxford American Dictionary
with over 250,000 entries and definitions, so you can seamlessly look
up the meanings of words without interrupting your reading. Never fear
a sesquipedalian word again—simply look it up as you go.
|
|
Wireless Access to WikipediaKindle also includes free built-in
access to the world's most exhaustive and up-to-date
encyclopedia—Wikipedia.org. With Kindle in hand, looking up people,
places, events and more has never been easier. It gives whole new
meaning to the phrase walking encyclopedia.
|
|
Adjustable Text Size
Because one size doesn’t fit all, you can increase the text size of
your favorite book or periodical with the push of a button. If your
eyes tire, simply increase the font size and continue reading
comfortably. Kindle has six adjustable font sizes to suit your reading
preference.
|
|
Long Battery LifeLeave wireless on and recharge approximately
every other day. Turn wireless off and read for a week or more before
recharging. Battery life will vary based on wireless usage, such as
shopping the Kindle Store and downloading content. In low coverage
areas or in 1xRTT only coverage, wireless usage will consume battery
power more quickly. Kindle fully recharges in two hours.
